Preston Lyerly
- Bloody filorda at Barbo*.
Che of tlie most horrible -crimes
eommitted in this section recently,
occurred at Barber Janction Tneso
day night of last wedc, between the
honre of sevcm and ^ht o'dock,
when Preston lyerly, manager of
H. T. Smithdeal*8 store, was tdlled,
the bnilding set on fire and the body
homed to a diarred mass. Mr.
Smlthdeal, owner of the store, fires
at Advance^ bnifWas in this city, at*
tmidiog court at the time. He weiit
to Barber ontheearly morning train
Wednesday. Ihere are many theor
ies advancra, but the most plausible
is that Lyerly wmt to the posteffice
after his mail7 and that when he re
turned to the store he foui^ the
burglars robbing the safe, which
was not locked. On being discovered
lyerly was shot through the head
and also knocked in the head, it is
believed, with an axe, after which a
can of bii was upset and a matbb ap
plied. The robber nr robbers se
cured what ca^ was on hand and
ea^ped. The burning building at
tracted the attention of those about
the station who went at once to the
scene, whidi was about two houdred
yardseastc^the de^t - The door
was barricaded with boxes but was
forced open, and reports say
thesafe was open and empty. The
body of the murdered man was oh
the floor in the rear of the building
and vvas notdi^yered until the fire
had gained such headway ^at jt
could not be reached dffioms b
Salisbury, Davieand Iredell county
were notified at once of the crime,
and all trains were watched, but up
to this time the guilty party or par
ties have not been captured. It is
reported that two or ^ree suspic
ious characters were arrested, but
they proved an alibi ami wmre re
leased. It is said that at least 800
l^ple were enga^ in the hunt for
the murderers (yerly was 26 years
of 9^, and h rd^ed to the Lyerly
famfiythat was practically wip^
out by the Glll^pie negroes In 1906,.
fot which three of the n^^roes were
taken from the Salisbury jail. and
lynched. Lyerly was a native of
Woodleaf, and his body was carried
to-Unity church and laid to rest
Thursday. The store bnilding was
worth nbont $1,500 and a $8,000
stock of goods was carried Mr.
Smlthdeal had not a penny of in
